Police Monday were seeking a Hartford man accused of killing another city resident at a Vine Street apartment building in August.

Solomon White, 26, whose last known address is 95 Vine St., is wanted on charges of murder, criminal possession of a firearm, unlawful discharge of a firearm and carrying a pistol without a permit, police said Monday.

White is accused of fatally shooting Keith Carter, 32, in the first-floor hallway of 46-48 Vine St. on Aug. 27. Witnesses said Carter was shot while arguing with a man, but they did not know what the argument was about.

A judge in Superior Court signed the warrant Friday for White's arrest; bail will be set at $2 million when he is taken into custody.

White was described as black, 5 feet 9, about 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Detectives believe he is armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information about White's whereabouts or the case is asked to call the Hartford Police Department's major crimes unit at 860-527-6300, or Det. John Koch at 860-527-6300, Ext. 5266.
